I am pretty new here as well and have learned so much already. As far as your question, I think it would be such a shame if we missed out here in the U. S. on an entire culture because of the terrorists. However horrific the event was, I believe it would be even more horrific if people's minds narrowed to the extent of blocking out millions of innocent fellow human beings.

Also, I suppose the people you are doing portraits of would give you permission to portray them in that manner and therefore would probably be the ones purchasing the portraits. There are some threads in here about people buying portraits that are not of themselves. It may be interesting to read some of them. A lot of the posts are very insightful!
